Mila R. Garcia, daughter of Latin immigrants, was born in Rochester, New York in 1988. She grew up in Uruguay and as of the last 15 years has been based in Denver, Colorado.

Mila's work is known for the contrast between often large scale vivid abstract paintings described by her as slow narratives, and her small scale drawings, which are short stories that are immediate. Studies created with pens and alcohol-based markers.

Mila’s creative process is spontaneous and intuitive; it is an ongoing conversation between her internal world and the canvas. She describes abstract art and bold color as her love language. Her work reflects a unique and evolving visual dialogue rooted in emotion, relationship, and exploration; one shaped by her upbringing, personal history, and experiences both in Uruguay and the United States.
